Rockhounding activities such as gold panning, metal detecting, fossil sifting, geode cracking and dinosaur track painting will be at the visitor center. A scavenger hunt and Mr. Bones will be on hand, too.

Guides point out dinosaur evidence at several sites on the trail. Hike the trail free or take an optional shuttle bus for $4 (3 & under ride free).
